The Uffizi houses one of the world's greatest collections of paintings and tapestries, many of which were originally commissioned by members of the Medici family. Executive Director of the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale Irvin Lippman says, "Offering of the Angels brings to the Museum of Art and to South Florida a wealth of old master paintings and tapestries that are rarely, if ever, seen in this region. We welcome the generosity of the Uffizi Gallery in allowing these treasures to travel here. These works of art reflect, in their fullest expression, the high points of artistic achievement of Western civilization."
